The bottom of the cliff was full of rocks. When Jiang Changbai fell, his instinct was to hold Liu Xin close, cradling her in his arms.
The two of them rolled for a long distance before they stopped.
"Are you alright?"
Both spoke simultaneously when they stopped.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Changbai spoke first." I'm fine. How are you?"
"I'm also...ah..."
Liu Xin began to respond, but a sudden, sharp pain in her calf made her cry out. Jiang Changbai, following her gaze, noticed the blood staining her foot.
Following her line of sight, Jiang Changbai saw the blood on her feet.
He hurriedly crouched down to examine her wound, but she held his hand, stopping him. A hint of blush spread across her face. She felt embarrassed at the thought of Jiang Changbai lifting her skirt to check the injury.
Misunderstanding her hesitation as fear of pain, he gently reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I won't hurt you."
